| Add Dramamine review I get motion sickness almost every time I'm in a moving vehicle. Dramamine definitely relieves the symptoms quickly, but it simultaneously knocks me out. When I take it, I'm tired the entire day and sometimes the next day as well. Not just regular tired-- EXHAUSTED. I find myself having slow reaction times, slurring my words, and being unable to think clearly, stand for long periods of time, and keep myself awake. However, my symptoms of motion sickness are so bad that it's worth it. Very effective product. I no longer fear long drives or boat rides since i started taking this product in 2001. It works for me much better than Gravol... It causes extreme drowsiness within the first hour but after that I am fine. | Add Scopolamine review This is the best motion sickness drug on the planet!! I have used it for years and now my 13 year old daughter uses it too. You apply the patch behind your ear 4 hours before you travel, and you are good to go for three days!! Perfect for weekend trips. I have never had any side affects, no drowsiness or upset tummy. Neither has my daughter. If you have trouble with motion sickness, get this patch!! Horrible, horrible drug. Took it for a cruise.started getting dizzy after removal the day after removing patch. Have been dizzy, nauseous and vomiting , blurry vision for 6days now. Feel awful. Went to dr. but he said he had never heard of anyone getting these symptoms. I hope this goes away soon. Don't know what to do. Please everybody stay away from this drug. | |||
